My Number 1 goal is to bring stability back into council chambers we need stability in order to move forward...Respect Between the Mayors Chair Council and Staff is paramount...Tax's have risen the past few years to a level that has put many people in financial hardship...goal is to get the tax rate back down to the rate of inflation or even close to 0%...Crime has moved Kamloops to the 2nd highest crime rate per capita in Canada ...we need to do better by Supporting our Front Line First responders , a new Police Station is needed as the old one is at double capacity, also more Community Safety Officers....Statistics prove that the safest City's have the Most Enforcement visibility...more boots on the ground equals less crime. Once we have stability back in the City of Kamloops we can move forward with these items.
The Reason i decided to run for office is that i have experience in chairing meetings for over 20 years with all different cultures and personalities and ideas...together we work together to find a way to solve problems. I Have the time and experience behind me.
